“Sister Emilene’s Birthday is TODAY”

Jun 21st “Sister Emilene’s Birthday is TODAY”

“Sister Mary Emilene” was one of the “BEST of NUNS” at the German St. Vincent Orphanage and she, just so happened to become one of the very special people in my LIFE, always, until the day she went on to her extra special journey to HEAVEN!

“Sister Emilene” a FRIEND, that someone extra special, I have always remembered on all occasions and still forever remember her BIRTHDAY was on the 21st of JUNE and with a real nice and LOUD singing voice, that I have, that can be heard all the way to “GRAND AVENUE” and now with a one, two, three, and with all of us together singing, “Happy Birthday dear Sister Emilene!”

The following letter, regarding “Sister Emilene” her LIFE and FAMILY and as you will read, she was also an “ORPHAN” and in the very same “GERMAN ST. VINCENT ORPHANAGE” so I feel that with the knowledge she had of the situation of “ORPHANS” she had a much better attitude with the children, that were in the same “ORPHANAGE” and in my case, she became a personal “FRIEND” to me, all the years, that she and I were in the Normandy, Missouri location.

You just might want to say, “She was a real “FRIEND” to me, till the very END!” Many years later, after my leaving the Orphanage and when, “We, my Family” moved back to the Saint Louis area from Florida, I had called her, to make arrangements, so that I could bring her to my home for the day and stay with us, for dinner. My sons Lee and Al would play the piano and organ, and we would always have a very nice time together, something so different than just a short visit with her, at the Orphanage! I always thought that it was good for her to have somewhere to go, that was more entertaining for her and even FUN, including the long drive, and at different times of the year, with the seasons changing, lots to see and talk about forever!

“I feel that, making “GOOD FRIENDS” and for a “LIFETIME” is really what, we were planted on this “EARTH” to do!” D.V.

“The following letter – regarding Sister Emilene – her LIFE and FAMILY, was sent to all the NUNS in their different locations and to FRIENDS, and I was lucky to be on her contact list – listed FRIEND.”
